What are the specs of this engine? Wasn't it just built a few thousand miles ago?
Manley I beam Rods
AMS Spec JE Pistons
Cosworth Rod bearings
Stock crank, stock sleeves
Yes, it was just built, the car literally just came outta storage...
Thanks fellow Blaine peeps. Who wants to have a motor pull session? Beer and pizza is about all I can offer.
I guess it could come to that, but I need to know the shortblock can be salvaged and thats if DB doesn't do anything for me, I have no idea what they are going to say.
Twas not a good day for evos. Hope you can get it back on the road and don't give up.
I didn't give up last time, but this is probably the last straw...the car will probably be sold unless something is worked out. No idea what to even price it at, 18k maybe, the car only has 28k on the clock. And the shortblock isn't vented so who knows. I sure don't...FML.

Who knows, this seriously blows.
If i'm around I will come and help of course. Just some cold water for me.
Like I said the only way I would even bother pulling it unless I am pretty damn sure it is possible to salvage the block. If anything is wrong in the lower end, which sounds like its the case, I am hoping a resleeve with new pistons/rods will do the trick. It's still basically a full rebuild but if we want to make a mitsustyle meet out of everyone playing with my car I am fine with that, lol. I don't expect this to be resolved anytime soon...it'll be a while before anything happens I am sure.
Goddamn....What a way to start the season, huh? Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. If I have the day off and you're wrenching maybe I'll have to make the long haul up and lend a hand. Did you at least have AAA for a free tow?

I have a normal AAA membership, so the tow was like 90 bucks since it was like 28 miles to my house. Not terrible, when my motor first blew I paid like 250. I should've just gotten the premium AAA it would've paid for itself by now.

Quick question? And this is just a question! Did map touch your tune?
Nope, not at all. I was the only one to touch a laptop, I just did logging too.

Thats what I have and when mine blew I first got towed about 8miles no charge then next day back to my house 20miles on again no charge. The premium is totally worth it IMO.Sorry to hear about this

I say let DB look it over before you touch anything, or even post it on the internet....oh too late hehe. Well SGH still has my engine hoist and he's not too far from you.
Simplest thing to do imho is to jack the car up, pull the oil pan (drain it first obviously) and see if you can wiggle any of the rods....there is a video somewhere that I took of Jim shaking his fast back and forth and you can obviously hear a problem.
